 apical joint obtuse. Prothorax very Httle broader than head, 

 a Httle broader than long (5-5 x 6 mm.), convex, sides parallel on 

 anterior half, gently and roundly narrowed on each side behind 

 posterior marginal puncture ; base widely rounded ; anterior 

 margin truncate between anterior angles ; these obtuse, jDrojecting 

 shortly but decidedly ; posterior angles not marked ; border 

 narrow, wider towards anterior angles, more strongly reflexed 

 behind posterior marginal puncture, lightly sinuate on each side 

 of base, much thicker on base ; marginal channel narrow ; median 

 line strongly impressed ; basal part short, depressed below disc, 

 defined anteriorly by a strong transverse linear impression ; two 

 marginal punctures on each side, the anterior a little behind ante-

 about middle, a little narrowed to shoulders, convex, strongly 

 declivous on sides and apex, abruptly declivous to peduncle ; base 

 widely emarginate ; shoulders prominent ; apex obtuse ; border

 on apical third, thickened and upturned at humeral angles to form 

 a short obtuse prominence ; two discoidal punctures on each 

 elytron, the anterior a little distance (hardly 2 mm.) behind 

 humeral angles, the posterior at beginning of apical declivity ; a

This is one of those species that serve to break down the boun- 

 daries dividing Eutovia from Carenum. It is a very distinct 

 species, the affinity of which is, on the whole, more towards 

 C. quadripvMctatum, MacL, than to any other Carenide known
